Is this a bit? I meant that the ellipses, in this context, mean that the nines go on forever. Obviously there are other symbols used to represent similar ideas, like ∞

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 days ago

The ellipses mean infinity. Anything less than infinity and the equation is false. It looks unintuitive because infinity is unintuitive

Intel is building a $20 billion facility in Arizona with financial support from the US government. NBC News reported workers are on the construction site for “two 60-hour weeks followed by a 50-hour week for months at a time in the hot Arizona weather with no paid vacation time.”

Many of these workers are coming from out of state and leaving their friends and families behind to live in temporary housing or hotels for months or years at a time. Josh Vitale, a superintendent for Hoffman Construction, the general contractor overseeing the construction of the Intel computer chip factory, told NBC News, “There’s a lot that goes into how stressful it is, not just physically, but mentally and psychologically … we have to realize that we are legitimately wringing the life out of people.”

They're making workers leave their lives behind for months at a time to toil in the desert and live in sardine cans. With no vacation. Yeah it's real surprising that suicide is on the rise and no young people are joining the industry.

Hearing the way Americans talk about Lincoln, you'd think they've got him confused with John Brown or Lenin.

I don't dream. No nightmares either. I have no problems sleeping and I'm not on drugs so it isn't a health thing - I've been like this all my life.

The only times I've managed to dream are when I nap while already well-rested, but even then I still usually don't. Like I might get 1 or 2 dreams a year in total from when I go back to sleep immediately after waking up, but never from normal sleep.

Anyone else like this?

I fat fingered the options menu and accidentally tapped on block. How do I unblock? It only gives me the option to block even harder hahaha

Never understood the breadlines bit. In western countries we don't bother to feed our poor, we let them starve on the street. No actually, we bleach our food to prevent the poor from eating our waste for free.

Imagine rationing your food and SHARING it?? Couldn't happen here.

I translated this clip to English so here you go guys:

With everything that we can help the people of Cuba with, we will so that there's no more doubt anymore (including oil) because they're a people who are suffering an inhumane, unjust blockade and we cannot turn our back on the people of Cuba. And we don't have to ask permission to any foreign government because we are a free, independent, and sovereign country.

Then with everything we can help them with... If they tell us "Sell us oil because we can't get any" then of course we will! When we ask them "Help us because we don't have medical specialists" including during the pandemic, medics came! And Cuban medical specialists are working in our country and we're very grateful to them. And we're part of the universal fraternity.

That makes us different too and really, truly, it fills me with pride that we're different from the conservatives - we cannot be the same. I respect those that think differently, we came here with a movement in favor of justice and humanism. Those that were here, not everyone of course, but the bossy ones, they were always looking for profit, personal benefit, they were interested in money. Their real god is money. What we want is fraternity, we want justice and we're in solidarity with all peoples. And if that means being a communist, populist, then put me on the list.

There are also videos of people randomly driving across rural America and the conditions people live under are eye-opening. Crumbling roads, crumbling houses, crumbling businesses, and everything's miles away with a sole Dollar General as the town's grocer.

At the start of the pandemic when libraries were closed during lockdowns, the Internet Archive temporarily allowed users to loan books unrestricted (usually only a few people can check out a book at a time). Some book publishers took issue with this and sued them for mass copyright infringement and won. The Internet Archive is going to appeal the judgement.

Here's the statement from the archive team.

Koalas and other endangered species are being driven to extinction right now by logging publicly owned forests. This video shows the desertification of the logging sites.

The war in Ukraine has caused a split recently among leftists and this video discusses the history of similar splits. It's very long, but the first 20 minutes are particularly relevant so I recommend watching through at least that much on 2x speed.
